Coach Talk

Last Action Herbert
You know what, Last Action Herbert, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Chase Claypool), while still getting a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
If it Reids we can kill it
Unless If it Reids we can kill it wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 4. With just 10 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
